MARY AND HUSBAND AGREE ON LAST FADEOUT.

Mary Pickford soon will be freed of all matrimonial obligations, including the name of Mrs. Owen Moore, according to seemingly authentic reports. Her attorney, Will H. Sheldon, formerly of New York, now of Reno, Nev., yesterday m Reno declared that Miss Pickfoifcl and Moore, her husband, recently met in New York and made all arrangements for a divorce. a The mode of procedure has not been divulged, Sheldon refusing to give details. It was the original plan that Mary go to Reno to obtain her decree, but it is now said j that this action has been obviated I by the agreement made between her j and Moore in New York. It has not been long since Mary’s husband made the statement that he was going to start proceedings of some sort against Douglas Fairbanks, with whom his wife’s name had been coupled by the movie colony in California. It was in April, 1918, that he said it, and he added he would “leave the case to the judgment of the American public, morally sound, and always possessing a keen instinct for justice.” However, he never started th e lawsuit he threatened. : Mrs. Beth S. Fairbanks got a divorce fromf the fascinating Doug, saying she loved him too fondly to ! keep him from the others. The decree was entered in November, 1918, and within a year she was married to James Evans, of Philadelphia. She was given the custody of her small son and he is with her now. That leaves Douglas foot-loose if not fancy free.
